I've taken a detailed look at MC EE vs MCIWB and taken some notes here: https://gilesknap.github.io/mciwb/main/user/explanations/mce...

It seems EE is more about programming agents that interact with the world (like in survival mode), whereas this tool interacts with creative mode to edit the world (think generative terrain, copy-pasting bits of your build, etc). I'd say they complement each other, but unfortunately Minecraft JE and EE are two entirely different programs[1].

Last time I looked into it, which I do fairly often because Education Edition has some interesting features not in other versions, you need to be an educator to even get a license for Education Edition.

Well that's a shame because I am pretty sere education edition supports RCON so I could adapt MCIWB to use it.

I happen to know that EE commands include the elusive 'GetBlock' that let's you query the contents of the world. I had to jump through some embarrassing hoops to provide this function for MCIWB.
